Antique clock restoration with casting and gold leaf gilding | ARC Services

"A really interesting and challenging restoration project. This clock case was originally given to us to restore as a bag of bits. The case was completely re-glued. The missing figures and decorations were also carved by us out of wax. We then cast them in bronze, and gilded them with 24 carat gold leaf. All work performed by us in our Burleigh Heads workshop.

Many 'How To' videos and tutorials are available on both our Thinking Hand Studios and ARC websites for those interested in traditional conservation, restoration and hand making techniques.
Written and produced by Cal with 47 years experience as a conservator and maker with the intention of preserving and encouraging traditional hand skills." #Antique
